Great fun, especially with friends
We really enjoyed this event, was very different to anything I’d done before. Had a lot of laughs along the way, and found the other participants, shop staff and event organisers to all be very friendly. Ended up on more main roads than we’d have hoped, but I guess that’s inevitable in London! Only change I would suggest is making pre-event communication about kit list less severe as it seemed that much of it was optional on the day - would have saved us buying/borrowing things like foil blankets and lights. Hope to do another event in the future as it was such good fun. Thank you!
Hi Louise, Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the event. It’s great to hear you had a lot of laughs along the way and that the friendly atmosphere came across. That’s exactly what we hope for — people working things out together and having a bit of an adventure with friends. You’re also absolutely right about **London**. With a city that size there will inevitably be some larger roads involved depending on the route choices people make, but it’s always interesting seeing the different ways teams decide to tackle it. On the **kit point**, that’s a fair comment and one we understand. The reason we communicate it quite firmly beforehand is that we can’t really make final decisions on what will or won’t be needed until the **actual event day**, once we’ve seen the conditions. By that point, of course, it’s too late for people to go and find things they might need. The items themselves are all very small, simple bits of kit — things like a foil blanket or a light — and they’re generally useful things for any runner or anyone who spends time outdoors to have anyway. But we do appreciate the feedback and will keep looking at how we word that part of the briefing. Really glad you had such a good time overall though, and hopefully we’ll see you back at another Drop in the future. Wane The Drop Ops Team

Incredible challenge - one of the best events I've done (and I don't know the area and had never done it before)
Hi Dave, Thanks for the fantastic feedback — that’s great to hear. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the challenge. Taking part somewhere you don’t know at all is exactly where The Drop tends to be at its best, so it’s great that you threw yourself into it and had such a good experience. “One of the best events I’ve done” is a big compliment, so thank you for that — it means a lot to the team. Hopefully we’ll see you back for another mission at some point soon. Wane The Drop Ops Team

A great mental challenge for a run
Brilliant team running the event. Friendly and supportive.
Will definitely do another one of these.
Hi Mark, Thanks for the great review — much appreciated. We’re really pleased you enjoyed the event and that the **mental challenge side** of it came through. That’s very much what The Drop is about — a run where thinking, decision making and teamwork matter just as much as the miles. Great to hear the Ops team came across as friendly and supportive too. We try to keep things organised while still making the whole experience relaxed and welcoming. Thanks again for taking part, and we’ll hopefully see you back at another Drop soon.

So much fun
Really great event. Loved every minute. Only slight issue was the driver. But well organised, friendly and a great challenge.
Hi Jason, Thanks for the great feedback — we’re really pleased you enjoyed the event. “Loved every minute” and “so much fun” is exactly what we like to hear. The Drop is meant to be a bit different from the usual race experience, so it’s great that the challenge and atmosphere came across. Thanks as well for the note about the driver. We’ll always take comments like that on board and feed them back where needed — sometimes the logistics side of moving a bus full of Dropsters around can be interesting! Really glad you had a good day overall though, and hopefully we’ll see you back at another Drop soon. Wane The Drop Ops Team
Cat Bradshaw
An excellently well organised event.
We really enjoyed running this as a team. It was such a challenge not only finding our way in an area completely alien to us, but pacing and fueling ourselves appropriately when we had no idea how far or how long we had left! I will definitely be returning next year. Thanks again team!
Thank you for your fantastic review, Cat! We're thrilled to hear that you found the event excellently organized and that you enjoyed the challenge of navigating a new area as a team. It’s great to know that you had fun with pacing and fueling along the way! We appreciate your feedback regarding it being beginner-friendly; it’s always a learning experience. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year for more adventures. Thank you for being part of our community!
Richard Gurd
Interesting challenge
Thank you for your review, Richard! We're glad to hear that you found the event to be an interesting challenge and appreciated the organization. Your feedback on the scenery and atmosphere is valuable, and we’re always looking for ways to enhance the overall experience. It’s great to know that you found it beginner-friendly as well. We hope to see you at future events, where we aim to make each experience even better! Thank you for recommending us!

A different and really fun challenge
Great day out, added a different and really fun element to running. Other participants were really chatty and friendly as were The Drop team. Trying to work out which way to go, multiple bad turns/dead ends etc, and pacing yourself when you don’t know how far you’re going is a really fun and different challenge. I’ll definitely be back.
Thank you, Martin! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge and had a great day out. It’s fantastic that you appreciated the fun, interactive element of the event and the friendly atmosphere — both from the team and other participants. We look forward to welcoming you back for another exciting adventure soon!
